If you think that the airlines with cheap tickets economy class is already the limit uzhali passenger space - you're wrong. The American company Zodiac Seats US зарегистрировала Patent to a tight fit in the passenger aircraft, which will push the salon almost one and a half times as many people.

Inspired herrings barrels and bee honeycomb, Zodiac invented seat passengers staggered alternately face and back in the direction of movement of the aircraft, and with a slight shift of seats from each other. To facilitate the process of liberation from the trap seat must be folded like a seat in the cinema.

In a typical Boeing 747, this configuration allows the seats to fit into the salon 80 seats more. Of the minuses design catches the eye need to look in the face to your neighbors, and discomfort associated with trying to get out of a window seat. What can you do - this is the price savings. Will the airlines in proportion reduce the cost of the ticket, or simply making a half times more difficult to predict.

Specialist offers airlines and flight conditions, Jason Rabinowitz site Routehappy.com, комментируя This patent , said that is always good idea to have in store for the future, but at this time appear more realistic plans of companies to reduce the width of the aisles and size toilets.

Personally, I once flew economy class company "Transaero". Their plane distance between the seat was so small that one my knee rested against the window, and the other pressed against the knee of the passenger sitting next - despite the fact that by today's standards, my height 180 cm is considered to be pretty average. The flight lasted 13 hours. Now I prefer trailering.
